You should alter your links 'A HREF' URL adding TARGET=_NEW at the end so that it opens in a new Tab/Window rather than taking the viewer away from the donor site (ie replacing the page he was looking at with yours).

Hello,
After reciving an News Letter, I have added a link on our web site too, under UKEF Recommends: http://www.uk-eliteforces.co.uk/news.php , It is a gaming site, so there should be alot of viewers.
and put a banner in one of the forums too see what the guys think! |

Thanks DriversAlliance and dossajnr!
We've also got posters for printing for anyone who is interested.
| Quote: | Do you run a shop or petrol station? Your cashier point-of-sale or a window position would be an ideal place to display a small A4 size PocketGPSWorld.com poster!
Other ideas might include displaying the poster in your workplace or college. For instance in the canteen, toilets or staffroom (though please ask permission first!) They can also be given out as flyers. |

All the vast knowledge of the forums.
Free lifetime membership if you report a camera not on the data base (once verified).
No one has forced you to place a link on your web site.
It's just in the spirit of using this web site  |

We link back to them on this forum.
Basically it's quite simple. Someone puts our link on their site, they come back here and place their link on our site.
There have been over 800 visits to this thread in just 6 days, i.e. many people, will see your link.

Hi have added a link at my site www.bghomes.info
Thanks to Pocketgps, I am using your 'worldwide banner' 
Just a quick question, how do speed cameras get verified? I could add lots of speed trap areas to the database but does it need another member to verify them before they get put on?
Thanks.

I'm not sure how none UK camera sites are verified.
But see HERE for UK information.
To submit cameras for Bulgaria, goto the Submit Speed Cameras page HERE
Just below the red box ATTENTION: Mobile Sightings is a heading All Submissions - you need to select your country from the drop-down box.
You can then add the camera sites from the map below. |

The web site banners have now been updated to reflect the new PGPSW web site look.
Just RIGHT CLICK the banner and use Save Picture As
For UK use
For Worldwide use
The code I use
